Hello everyone, I want to ask if anyone could help me check if the setup I wrote on the title would work. I currently have an i9-12900KF on an Asus Prime B660-PLUS D4, with 128GB of DDR4 RAM, a 3090, and a Blackmagic decklink quad 2. I've been looking into changing my monitor (Gigabyte M27Q) and using an LG UltraFine 4K that I also have. The problem, I think everyone would notice, is that the monitor is a Thunderbolt monitor designed for Mac. I've tried all sorts of cables and adaptors like the Delock 63928 because it's still cheaper than buying a new monitor that is equal to or better than the one I have, and one that is even close to the LG. So after many fails I've come to Thunderbolt add-on cards. I could buy an Asus ThunderboltEX4 that could easily work on my current mobo, but the PCI Express slot I would have to use is the one that my Decklink is currently using. Honestly, I wouldn't mind changing between the Thunderbolt card and the Decklink when necessary, but my boss doesn't approve of that and would prefer to have both cards on simultaneously. That's when the motherboard replacement comes. The Gigabyte Z690 UD DDR4 has 1 PCIEX16 and 2 PCIEX4 slots, and the manual of the Gigabyte GC Maple Ridge says it needs to be connected to a PCIEX4 slot. In the case of the decklink, it is currently connected to one of the 2 PCIEX16 slots on my current motherboard, so, would it work on the second PCIEX4 slot on the Gigabyte mobo? At the end of the day, I don't think I'll go on this route for the upgrade since I'll end up spending more money buying a new motherboard and a Thunderbolt add-on card, but I need to deliver all of the options we would have available. Thanks to everyone who takes a bit of their time helping me

Greetings community, I have come up against this issue for a while and I believe I have found a solution, however, I am not 100% sure of that. I have done photography for a while and worked with computer files for a long time. I personally always try to save a project file and/or render out/save the finished file with the intention of just rewriting over that file with the updated file with the same file name; thus just basically updating the file. A couple of months ago, BlackMagic released a version of DaVinci Resolve 16 that suddenly made it so (seemingly) things would not render at random (this is still happening with all versions leading up to and including DaVinci Resolve 17). As soon as I clicked render, the estimated time would continue to rise until it finally got to multiple days worth of estimated rendering time left. Even worse, when you tried to stop the render, the program would completely lock up, to the point of closing it out through task manager. This has happened to me on multiple different installs and computers. I believe the problem is that you can not have ANY file with the same name on your computer or you will have this error. DaVinci Resolve will not replace files for some reason it seems. Please comment though if you think it is something else as it has been very perplexing in recent months.

Hi guys, I was just wondering if the Asus ProArt motherboard, such as the B550 version which also has TB4, would work with Blackmagic Design's Ultra Studio Recorder that uses TB3. I'm sorry if this question seems simply, but USB freaking naming conventions and the whole TB mess confuses me a lot. Thanks, Eli To the mods: I'm sorry if this post is in the wrong category, unsure where to put it as I was wondering on the TB on the Asus ProArt specifically and not TB in general since TB and USB stuff is so messy, so I thought this place would be the good place to put it. Please move it if this fits a better category.

I recently upgraded a Lenovo Ideapad 310-15IKB (80TV) to Linux Mint 20. I wanted to use DaVinci Resolve on it, but it flagged issues with the drivers, despite having the i915 drivers pre-installed by my distribution. I don't know what to do next, since it won't open despite me having the correct drivers. Is there anything I can do? I've already updated everything. Hardware information: https://termbin.com/uyqu

Hello all. I have gotten myself into a bit of a pickle. I work in IT for a county in the US and I have started hosting all of our official meetings as well as beginning to record them. As time has gone on I have built rolling TV setups and small meeting rooms to record video footage. I do all of my recording through OBS(another learning curve entirely) and have since been tasked with creating a full mobile video production set up. I essentially have a blank check but, like Luke I don't like spending money without knowledge of a good return. My predecessor was fired as he over promised and never delivered leaving me with a half baked BMD(Black Magic Design) system. That is a long way of saying, while I can use OBS I have ZERO knowledge about the hardware I need. I am looking for resources, guides, or anything that might help me make an informed decision to build a semi professional setup to record and stream county meetings. What I need to do is capture the audience video and replies on one side and the speakers video and voice on the other. Currently all I have is a BMD URSA Mini Pro G2 4.6K Camera, a handful of Rokinon lenses(35mm, 58mm, 50mm and a 14mm), and a single Rode Microphone mounted on top of the camera. Apart from that I have no way of currently connecting this to my computer or any way of doing audio balancing. My only knowledge of this equipment is pushing buttons and reading user manuals. I am not the artsy type so right now I am just going for making this a functional setup that won't require additional resources apart from the occasional battery purchase or maintenance upgrade. As a side note I am enjoying learning all of this so I am not taking on the project begrudgingly I just know this forum will help me get on my feet.

Hi, (sorry for lengthy post) I have to prepare a build for in-house live video productions (that's why it's unknown, but still not "insane" budget; if Board member signs it - and he rather wants to start this project - we're golden) So, here are the issues I have (aside from the fact that last time I really made PCs from hand-picked parts was in P4/Athlon times, later just quick component swaps at work and lots of theory): So far we've worked with 4-8 FullHD sources via Blackmagic hardware switchers, but we'd like to dip our toes in multi-location sources (due to pandemic of course), and we'd want: - vMix Call is main goal (up to 8 WebRTC sources), - machine should be able to serve as replacement for FHD hardware solutions we use (so 4 inputs - with capability of up to 8 - and 2-4 streams+recording); - 2-3 4K camera sources possible if someone will want 4K streaming (we'll go with hardware mixer sooner or later, no point in focusing on this too much); - during longer breaks it'll serve as Adobe Suite workstation - we tend to keep 1-2 simultaneous renders while working on 3rd project, so I think this is what will also happen with this machine I've checked vMix (it's the only software aside from Livestream that can manage video calls properly) recommendations: https://www.vmix.com/products/vmix-reference-systems.aspx#obsidian Hence my hope for succesful AMD build - it looks like I'm aiming at their top of the line specs anyway The goal is stability under long loads - so no overclocking here; RGB unfortunately will be turned off during this PC work hours vMix did testing with Threadripper (PCIe4x64) - but even cheapest one is really more expensive than recommended i9 10th series. On the other hand they hadn't tested i.e. 3950x (which is in my sights right now) due to "low PCIe lanes" compared to i9 10th. UPDATE I found the motherboard - Asus Pro WS X570-Ace - supports 8x8x8x setup via hijinks on the chipset - but based on bandwidth required by expansion cards and available on chipset-CPU route, it'll work (Blackmagic 8K Pro needs ~6GB/s, which leaves about 1.5-1.7GB/s left on PCIe4x4 chipset-CPU connection. So, Now I'd like to focus on remaining questions - which RAM configuration is "optimal" for Ryzen 3950X, and are there "better" 2070/2070 Super/2080/similar models on the market I should focus on, or it's mostly "whatever you'll pick, it's fine"? Bonus question (forgot about it in original post) - what kind of storage is recommended - I know (from LTT of course) that PCIe4 ones are not optimized yet, but is there basically Samsung EVO and that's it? EDIT2 - and what cooler should I use for said Ryzen? So here is my first question - since for GPU PCIe3x8 is oftenmost sufficient, Blackmagic capture cards require anywhere from PCIe2x8 to PCIe3x8, how will it work on PCIe4 config? I plan on having: - higher end 1xRTX (let's assume full PCIe3x16), - 1xBlackmagic 8K Pro (PCIe3x8), - 1x 4K Extreme 12G(PCIe2x8), - maybe some throwaway card like audio or some not important connections we won't need in the next 2 years effectively It'll "eat up" PCIe3x(8+4+?)+GPU -> up to 32 lanes in PCIe3. I assume there should be no hickups, but still - Is it safe to say that PCIe4x16 is effectively PCIe3x32 dynamically (or manually) distributed as fit; or will it rather have a chance of failing spectacularly? I hope some of you actually ran few cards like blackmagic ones and could share your knowledge. Video ingest cards really require the bandwidth they claim they do - in "4th Intel era" I've used not supported motherboard - turns out the lanes were "fake" x4 in said mobo and only properly working was taken by GPU. UPDATE ENDED Then - dual channel vs quad memory - should I be concerned with it now, or is it rather a higher bar set by vMix to utilize 4K to it's limit? Any advice? What speeds should I run it at? GPU - I know that 2080Ti is higher bar set by vMix, so I'll choose something between RTX2070 Super and RTX2080, depending on resulting configuration (These GPUs are artificially limited to only 2 concurrent decode/encode streams anyway, but maybe I'll try unlocking this feature - Quadro RTX is prohibitively expensive) Motherboard: - As I've mentioned above, sooner than later we'll move to 10Gbps network for video editing - 2,5Gbps or 5Gbps should be more than enough for footage we record right now (BRAW 8:1), but still... ) Here are my picks (dual ethernet, one of those is either 5 or 10gbps; 3 full length PCIe +at least one x1) ASRock X570 Creator ASRock X570 Aqua ASUS ROG X570 Crosshair VIII Formula Is there something better/reliable about those picks, or is there a nicer alternative? Is there some kind of PC case (so normal-ish tower) that would be "rack moddable" - as in by attaching made by manufacturer rails/brackets to let it sit safely on the bottom when we'll start using it as mobile broadcast/switching table? Or I'm just looking for something that does not exist?

Hey everyone, So I was wondering if there were any Fusion 8 users out there? I just started using the program last week and I really enjoy it for mograph creation for my YT channel. Theres only 1 issue though, I cant get it to run without crashing on startup on my desktop. It runs perfectly fine on my laptop, Ill list the specs of both PC's down below. I have a feeling that it has to do with my GPU in my desktop. Id rather not try switching to my integrated graphics to test and see if that is the issue. So if anyone has a 10 series GPU and runs Fusion 8.1 or newer, please let me know how you do it. Thanks for any help in advance! Desktop CPU: i5 6500 MOBO: Asus Maximus Hero VIII (running BIOS from 12/2015 for OC on CPU, but I doubt this would be the issue) GPU: Asus ROG Strix 1070 OC (With latest driver 375.50, also tried on previous driver version with no luck) RAM: 4x4gb Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 2666mHz (OC'd to something like 2800) OS: Windows 7 SP1 Pro I dont think anything else would be relevant to my issue but Ill list all the specs just for completeness... Cooler: Corsair H100i V2 PSU: Corsair RM650x Laptop HP Elitebook 8560w (Yea its old AF and its been through hell) CPU: i5 2520M GPU: AMD FirePro M5950 RAM: 2x8gb Kingston DDR3 1666mhz OS: Windows 7 SP1 Pro Link here for anything else you need on the laptop specs http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=emr_na-c02843455

Blackmagic Design released a new ATEM Mini production switcher that has many good features for streaming live to an online platform. It has 4 HDMI inputs for cameras, consoles, or anything else HDMI and has a built in USB output. The USB output means that if you connect it to a computer it appears as a 1080p webcam that can be used for any streaming platform. The price is very low compared to other offerings at only $295 for example the Roland VR1-HD has many of the same features but it has one less HDMI input and it is $1495. Here is an article from 9to5toys talking about it

I’m thinking about getting a new daily driver, I want a 2in1 for ease of use as I travel frequently, but I also need a machine that can handle medium-weight video editing (4K footage, light colour grading, basic titles, 2-3 video layers and audio editing) for when I am at a desk, I was wondering if an external GPU such as the blackmagic design eGPU or Razers eGPU, works with the dell XPS13 2 in 1, so that I can use it with the graphics card when I’m at my desk but still have the portability and basic power of the 2 in 1. cheers

So in the (possibly) near future, I plan to record games with a secondary computer and I want to which out of the three are most prefered for recording games in 1080p; fps won't really matter to me, as long as it records full 30fps. Either the Blackmagic Design DeckLink Mini Recorder, Avermedia Live Gamer Portable, or the Avermedia Game Broadcaster HD. Now the DeckLink might seem a little peculiar to you, but I added that as an option because I also want something to record my EOS camera with Adobe Premiere. It's optional, but it would be very convient to have that kind of feature. And most likely the Avermedia can do the samething, but I don't if it can record raw footage. If there are any reasonable questions or something that I may have left out, feel free to ask. (And I don't think I am in the right subforum)
